Yes, I have been working on a lot of donation tops lately. That is how it goes during the piecing of Fabric of the Year quilts<\/a>. 1) there is a lot of piecing; 2) I have to keep the pieces in order and subtle changes in color are not always obvious in the wrong place until the whole thing is sewn together and 3) I can’t not sew with leaders and enders<\/a>. Not using leaders and enders just seems wrong. Thus, I have made a few donation quilts.<\/p>\n

Charming Donation Top<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This donation top is an offshoot of a pattern Peggy modified, the Plus quilt.I made one using our standard postage stamp donation blocks and wasn’t super excited. Someone will like it, but I wanted to modify it.<\/p>\n

I wanted to make the top a little bigger, so I used charm squares to make up the plus instead of the blocks. I don’t think it really worked the way I intended. I only gained an inch on each side. That is why I added the borders. Not very modern of me, I know, but someone will like it.<\/p>\n

It also went together very quickly. I made the whole thing in a few hours, which is always a bonus.<\/p>\n

That Nicey Jane fabric (with the giant dots) was laying around bugging me. I am glad it will go to a good home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
